LISTEN UP
I always begin with an in-person consultation
with all of my clients. I may have creative ideas,
but I always take the time to sit and listen to
clients' needs fi rst. I consider their hair's current
characteristics before formulating or creating color.
Once I gather information, I allow my creative ideas
to fl ood through my mind and heart to deliver the
best possible hair service to fi t each guest.
Marco Pelusi, Aloxxi artist and celebrity colorist, chats with
Launchpad's Jasmine Coreas about inspiration, favorite
products and the power of listening.

STAR POWER
I love my client
James Brolin's
hair. I lowlight
to create gray
reduction, and
the layered cut
showcases his
amazing head
of hair.
Connecting with
people is what inspires
me. I love working with
individuals to create long-term
professional relationships.
As I get to know the true
essence of my client, I can
deliver a color or style that
suits their personality while
simultaneously infusing
current trends."

PERFECT PAIR
Aloxxi ColourPrime Pre-Color Treatment is a marvelous
product that we use prior to color services at my salon,
Marco Pelusi Hair Studio, in West Hollywood, CA. It
protects the scalp by decreasing any sensitivity that might
be present and equalizes the porosity of hair, which allows
for even color results throughout the entire hair shaft.
Marco Color Anti-Frizz Leave-In-Conditioner is a must after
a color service or before a cut and blowdry; it's lightweight
and doesn't cause buildup.
SPEAK NOW
The greatest thing about
being an educator is that
"the one who speaks
the most, learns the
most." Educators become
knowledgeable because
the more they speak their
message, the more they
retain it. To avoid doing all
the talking, I give attendees
various exercises to write,
speak or act out what
they've learned in my class.
This allows them to better
retain new information.
LIVING STRESS-FREE
Yoga is a wonder in my life. I think yoga is great for
any stylist and/or business owner who needs to stay
limber and also for stress management.
